Love beer? We love it too! Take a look at these microbreweries and craft beer joints in Manila and join us in the craft beer revolution.

Craft beer is often described as beer produced by traditional breweries that are relatively small. And unlike their commercial counterparts, craft beer is something many Megacitizens look for when they are in town.

Want to find out where to go if you want to drink craft beer? Here’s a list for you.

Barley Gastropub

If you love beer but would like to have some grub with it, go to Barley Gastropub. While there are other places that offer food with their beer, Barley Gastropub offers mouthwatering dishes to go with their brewed concoctions.

Smoky Bastard

Hole in the Wall, 4th Floor, Century City Mall, Kalayaan Avenue, Poblacion, Makati

Smoky Bastard is an exciting place that offers 13 types of beers. If you love trying new flavors, this is definitely a good spot to go to.

MICROBREWERIES

We know you’d like to know if there are any microbreweries in the country. While some of them are not in Manila, we added them here anyway just in case you plan on going on a road trip sometime.

Craftpoint Brewing Co.

Craftpoint was established in 2013. Their most popular brand is the Liberation Pale Ale, according to patrons of the microbrewery. Our team has tried this and all we can say is it’s good for pairing with meaty stuff such as steaks and burgers.

Fat Pauly’s Handcrafted Ales and Lagers

Fat Pauly is a craft beer fan who started making homebrewed beers in 2010. Fat Pauly combines imported and local ingredients to make the best brews. His beers are amazing and are never boring.

Gpoint Brewery

Gpoint is a favorite spot in Malate but it also doubles as a brewery. Owner Morgan Kallefjord said he was tired of the limited selection of beers in the Philippines. This later inspired him to introduce his own brews.

Baguio Craft Brewery

Baguio Craft Brewery also known as Xavierbeer started as a dream when the owners met in Seattle in the year 2011. They established their microbrewery in 2014 and have been distributing their brand in the metro since. The company offers German lager, strawberry beer, brown ale, wheat beer, and India Pale Ale.

Katipunan Craft Ales

Katipunan Craft Ales is the genius behind Indio Pale Ale – a local beer patterned from American Pale Ale.
